Okay so bad news
So, it’s looking like i’m going to have to kill the server for the time being. It’s quite the bandwidth strain and unless you guys want to pay for me to upgrade my interwebs i’m going to have to shut it down. In addition, I’ve been a little absent from the server recently due to my school work and my part time job (which unfortunately pays much better than small...

Minecraft 1.4
You may have noticed that Minecraft 1.4 came out today. This is great news but puts the server in a bind for the next day or so. I won’t be home until about eleven MST tonight and after that i’m headed straight for bed. So, the server might be down for a little while and even if it is back up we may be without plugins for an even longer period of time.
I’ve poked around on the...
Server whitelist
My server is now whitelist only. It’s the only way I can effectively manage griefing and all the things going on the server. From this point on I am enforcing the rules with an iron fist. I’m not giving out second chances. I’d like this server to be comprised of a group of like-minded, mature individuals who want to play some good quality minecraft.
If you haven’t already...
New Server Plugins and Updated Command List
I’ve added a few more plugins and I figured I’d redo the command list.
These are the commands that every player should be able to do:
/list —lists the current players on the server
/say me [text] — emotes ex. “/say me is awesome” displays “—NikTheJedi is awesome”
/msg (player) [text] — whispers to a player
/whereami — gives...
Going for a re-install
Not to long from now I will be reinstalling my minecraft server with mineOS. It is an operating system designed to run a minecraft server and so i hope it will eliminate some of the bloat.
What does this mean for you guys? Hopefully less lag, less downtime, and more plugins with less problems.
What do I need from you guys. A couple hours of patience. Over the years I’ve streamlined the...
Going to reset the server
I’m not sure if your inventory will transfer with you when i start up the new server. I’m going to try, but if it doesn’t I have a backup plan.
You need to take a screenshot. Press F2
Go back to the minecraft main menu.
Go to mods and texture packs.
Open texture pack folder.
Go up one directory to Minecraft and go into screenshots
Save the screenshot of your inventory...
Buying Nether Items
Khaibaal brought up a good idea about buying nether items and so here’s the breakdown if you want to buy them. All references to money are in game unless I specify real world money.
Netherrack x 16 = $300 (no you can not divide to get smaller amounts)
Soulsand x 3 = $100
Glowstone x 1 = $200
Glowdust x 9 = $250
Remember $1 real world money donations to the server get you $100 in...
New Currency System
I know many of you on my server have established methods of trading goods for other goods and i just wanted to set an official method for trade.
1 Iron Ore = $1
1 Gold Ore = 10 Iron ore = $10
1 Diamond Ore = 10 Gold ore = 100 Iron ore = $100
I’ll set up a banking system where you can trade less valuable ore for more valuable ones. In addition i’m going to start with a set of tools...
Official server rules
1. Be respectful
2. No discrimination. This includes but is not limited to racial, gender, religious, or sexual based.
3. Watch adverse use of profanity. I’m an adult, I can handle the occasional curse, but children play this game too.
4. No griefing. This consists of any unwanted destruction or editing of the terrain who is obviously being used by someone.
5. No 1x1 towers or anything...
Server update: iZone & new Arena
I updated the server with a new plugin. iZone allows me to create protected cuboid regions of space. Essentially this will cut down on griefing in areas such as permanent homes or large scale projects. Unfortunately, I am the only one who can create zones but once it is created I can assign ownership to people so they can still edit the contents of their zone.
Here are owner comands:
/zmod...
Server Crashed
to anyone who was trying to join my server yesterday/last night, I apologize for the down time. We should be in business again. :D
Support
Support for my server will be greatly appreciated in the form of donations.
I’m hoping to buy server space on a game hosting site to make a server that can support 20+ people and all the plugins you can dream for.
Link for paypal on the side. :D
